Of course, "the city that never sleeps" has the best nightlife full of hot people. And with a walkable city and network of taxis and Ubers, spontaneous trysts are all the more convenient. Plus, N.Y. makes out with the highest interest in kink, according to Playboy.

Beachy, blond babes account for much of L.A.'s sex appeal. Angelenos are not much for experimenting, but they are into cheating, at least half a million of them.

San Antonio ranked fourth most sexually active city in the U.S.

1 / 57

Back to Gallery

Miami, Las Vegas, Los Angles, New York — when you think of sexiest cities in the U.S., these are the places that rock the come-hither.

But San Antonio? The Alamo City is a bit more lusty than its fair reputation would lead you to think. A new study by QualityHealth ranks S.A. as the fourth most sexually active city in the U.S.

The survey evaluated birth rates and contraceptive sales and factored in the market for erotica in cities from coast to coast.

According to the study, Denver, Colorado is the coitus capital of the nation.

San Antonio earns its fourth place with contraceptive sales per capita 127 percent higher than those of most U.S. places. Condom sales are significantly higher in San Anto; in fact, the city is the second leading location in condom sales. That deserves a pat on the back.

As the only Texas city in the top 10 list, San Antonio also gets a boost in rank from the fact that the Lone Star state boasts the nation's second-highest birth rates, according to the CDC.

Clearly, a population teeming with fit sexy bodies, while important, isn't the only element that makes a city hot-blooded. Click through the gallery above to see some of the ways San Anto rocks its sex appeal.
